Abstract: A crown or holder that is adapted for supporting a bingo dauber in a vertical marking position. The crown is twisted onto the end of the bingo dauber with the marking tip. The crown is adapted to receive the dauber in such a manner that when the crown is placed on a bingo card, the dauber is vertically disposed and the marking tip of the dauber is disposed just above the bingo card. A bingo player simply aligns the crown with a number and presses down on the dauber to mark the number imprinted on the bingo card below.

Abstract: A golf-theme writing related article includes a golf-club-head-shaped eraser which includes a pencil-end reception well for receiving an eraser end of a pencil. A golf-club-bag-shaped pencil holder is provided for holding one or more of pencils fitted with the golf-club-head-shaped erasers. A simulated wheeled golf bag cart is provided for supporting the golf-club-bag-shaped pencil holder. The simulated wheeled golf bag cart includes wheels and a bag-holder portion supported by the wheels. The simulated wheeled golf bag cart includes two wheels. Alternatively, the simulated wheeled golf bag cart includes three wheels, and the wheels weigh more than the bag-holder portion. A simulated golf green is provided for supporting the simulated wheeled golf bag cart on which the golf-club-bag-shaped pencil holder is supported. Additional golf-club-head-shaped erasers and are provided. Each golf-club-head-shaped eraser can simulate a different head of a golf club.
Abstract: A safety oriented article of giftware is provided by fastening a cushioning pad (15) to the coarse underside of a rectangular highway pavement lane delineator marker button (10), or a circular convex button (20). This modification structurally alters the function of buttons (10, 20) to serve as a safety catalyst for traversing the imaginary highway of life. Added structural accoutrements, such as a plaque (30), a conventional audio device (22), and a pen funnel (36) further modifies the buttons (10, 20) to provide a greater use of their safety stimuli. Also, caricatures, or images of famous or well-known persons, places and things may be used to provide a new tool and method of creating information, both visual and auditory, so that organizations can convey safety and quality assurance in products and services. Structurally modifying buttons (10, 20) greatly broadens the use of their normally passive, inert safety stimuli, and brings their catalytic safety qualities to the fore.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a holder device that is mountable on a support and adapted to removeably secure elongated writing implements thereto. The holder device includes a base portion adapted to mount on the support and a pair of wing portions extending away from the base portion and converging toward on another to terminate in a free wing edge so that the wing portions and the base portion define a longitudinally extending channel sized to receive an elongated writing implement. The channel has a longitudinal mouth located between the wing edges whereby the writing implement may be inserted through the mouth into the channel. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention the channel has grooves therein to permit a variety of sizes of writing implements to be mounted. The invention includes alternative mounting structure, one embodiment has an adhesive layer on the base portion; another embodiment includes a clip structure for removeably mounting the device.
Abstract: Disclosed is a shape-chageable sectional penholder assembled from a base, a middle panel, a plurality of brick elements, and a cover. The middle panel is formed at two faces with a plurality of projected rods. The rods on a first face of the middle panel form a circle and the rods on a second face of the middle panel form a square. The base is an octagonal hollow body with a closed bottom and is provided at every other top edges with a plurality of projected rods corresponding to through holes formed on the middle panel, such that the base is connected to the middle panel by engaging the projected rods with the through holes. The brick elements can be superposed on the projected rods of the middle panel and the projected rods of the base projecting from the through hole of the middle panel and on themselves to a desired or suitable height, such that a round, a square, or an octagonal sectional penholder can be formed.
